What Is On This Card?

Attack

Brilliant Deduction

Lightning energy. Look at the top 4 cards of your deck and put 1 of them into your hand. Shuffle the other cards back into your deck.

Skilled in deduction, he's a self-proclaimed "great detective." His detective hat is his trademark.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, SM Black Star Promos set name, and SM194 / 248 collector number. Those identifiers matter more than the character name alone because the Pokémon TCG can reuse names across reprints, promos, alternate artwork, and later expansions.

Next, match the finish and condition. A holofoil, reverse holofoil, unlimited, or first-edition listing may carry a different reference price even when it belongs to the same card printing. Grading adds another layer: raw marketplace references should not be treated as prices for PSA, Beckett, or CGC slabs.

Finally, compare the visible update date with current marketplace listings and recent sold results. MonZap gives you a fast catalog reference, set context, and scanner workflow, while the linked marketplaces help you check what is available right now.
